it gives your average top quality Japanese sportsbike more power in the medium term.

I would bet that it would decrease reliability in the long term.

On a chinese copy of a japanese cruiser then I would RIGOROUSLY stick to the running in schedule. You have no idea to what tolerances that bike was made. If the manufacturer says to run it in, then I would run it in IMO. Karma

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I wouldn't worry too much about running in. Just make sure the bike has a decent chance to warm up before you thrash it!

What kind of bike have you got?

Personally, I'd get on the thing and just ride it normally. I just wouldn't labour the engine too much (not enough revs) generally speaking.

Aaaah okay...was wondering where I recognised your name from (I think we talked before, I had a kymco zing).

I wouldn't trash it in this case but once you've say hit the 400 mile mark or so, gradually feed on the power.

yes i have always run bikes in carefully and they have been reliable , so probably best to stick to a tried formula .
